Binding problem in infoWindow with Marker

[kiang]

1) Create a Marker
2) Create a InfoWindow
3) addListener to Marker.click to open the InfoWindow
4) Click on the Marker. As expected, the InfoWindow opened.
5) Remove the marker from the map through Marker.setMap(null)
6) Well, InfoWindow is still opening there ...

I'm not sure if there's another way to bind InfoWindow with the map
property of Marker. I've tried some solutions with no luck ~

1) InfoWindow.bindTo('map', Marker) ~~ not work when
Marker.setMap(null)
2) Marker.map_changed = function() { InfoWindow.close(); }
~~ It's fun that the InfoWindow be closed. But the Marker keep stay
there when Marker.setMap(null)

I could remove them without binding. Just want to know if there's any
way to bind them together.

Hi Francisco,

Thanks for sharing your tips with me. I think it would be better to
have the information back to group. Hope you won't mind if I c.c. the
group.

I did use some similar way to resolve the problem. Just hope somebody
could fix the issue to make binding feature work as expected. I'm not
sure if it's a bug or a feature, so I just open a topic instead
opening an issue. ;)
